Hello from Tampa

smasse

Hi, all. My name is Sean. Born and raised in Tampa, FL. Went to a magnet high school here for visual arts (painting was not my main concentration) and haven't picked up a brush since 2006  when I graduated and never worked in oils. Found Marks videos in December along with another artist named Alexei Butirskiy that inspired me to get back into art. 

Really love the stuff on the forum, you guys are incredibly talented.

Here is a first attempt at oils. Crappy but just trying to get my feet wet.

Hope to speak with you all soon.

Sean

Ha! That is funny. I appreciate the comment. I am starting my second piece now. Sketching from a picture my wife took on Isle St Louis in Paris now and probably will begin painting tonight or tomorrow. Will update when I am done!

Hope to speak soon!

I've gone to huevaluechroma.com to help me understand the use of color and light.  It's very informative.  I learned a lot from it.
